Shownotes

In this episode, retired Army Colonel Kenny joins the show to share his unique blend of battlefield grit, sharp wit, and storytelling. From wild tales of construction and soldiering to novels that mix cosmic villains, romance, and car shows, Kenny takes us on a journey that is equal parts hilarious, raw, and deeply human.

We dive into leadership in combat, the struggles of young soldiers, the impact of communication during deployments, and the challenges veterans face transitioning home. Kenny also reflects on the importance of mental resilience, the failures of the VA system, and why humor has been his greatest weapon against life’s darkest battles.

Whether he’s recounting bathroom field stories, building boxing rings in Iraq, or exploring the healing power of storytelling, Kenny reminds us that even in chaos, there’s room for laughter, love, and legacy.
